Looking for our immigrant, the parents of James Tucker Coomes.
James T. was born in Baltimore, Md. in 1817 and says his
parents were English?? His father was the captain? of a ship?
and was lost at sea. We do not have his name or time of
death. James went to sea to find him and failing returned
home to find his mother and siblings gone. He never saw them
again or so our story goes. We wonder if they returned to
England or Wales or wherever they came from. We are hoping
someone recognizes the story. They would possibly know of a
missing son and maybe have a tie to the Tucker family.
My cousin has done a DNA test with the Combs,Coombs, etc. list
but we have not found a match. Most of those of this spelling
came to the US before our line came.
The Combs, Coombs, etc list is doing an international DNA
test. There seems to be about 125 different spellings for our
name.
and have found several matches. We are hoping more folks from
across the pond will take the test and help connect our families.
Patience
